About Ray Richter

Born and raised in South Florida, we fall in love with the peaceful quiet setting of this property where we can be far away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities yet close enough for convenience. This is our dream place where we can smell the fresh air, come to relax and meet our families from other parts of the country. Great place for family get togethers and enjoy each other for holidays or any time of the year.

Ray Richter purchased this Cabin in 2004

Why Ray Richter chose Marion

This property offers everything anyone would want, 33 acres from the main road includes flat areas to top of the mountain. Fresh spring water from the creek, it is better than any bottle water sold in stores. Flat area for growing our own organic fresh veggies, fruits, blueberries and blackberries everywhere. Hiking all the way upto the top of the mountain and looking at all the great scenery around the Blue Ridge Mountain has to offer.

What makes this Cabin unique

We just love everything about the home from the first minute we saw it advertised on the internet we bought it without even actually seeing it. The beautiful pastures, the swing on the porch, where we can sit relax and smell the fresh air and looking at the flowers and out into the the woods. The home is very private surrounded with wooded land all around it , feels like you are in your own paradise in the woods. The arched entryway and the beautifully shiny stained walls and floors just took our breath away. Very large rooms and bathrooms, open floor plan great for getting the family together.

We LOVED the cabin on Sugar Hill Rd. Very secluded, and was by far the CLEANEST rental we have ever been to. Everything needed for any type of cooking was there in the well stocked kitchen. There was a flat screen T. V. in the livingroom, and three huge bedrooms ( plus 2 large bathrooms) We would certainly rent this cabin again !

There were two families on our trip, both with young children. The house was plenty big enough for everyone. I was impressed with how clean everything was as well. The kitchen was indeed well-stocked, with just about every gizmo you could possibly need. The porch was everyone’s favorite feature! The owners were very responsive.

The house is loud, however. We could hear every step of those upstairs. We are used to noise though, with all our kids, and it didn’t bother us much. Water pressure was a little low for showers. But we absolutely had a wonderful time and the property was fantastic. Zuli was an interesting surprise!

We rented this beautiful property for Hurricane Florence Evacuation. The owner was so kind and helpful and the property was absolutely PERFECT. It rained much of the time and we spent a lot of time on the fabulous wrap around porch listening to the rain. Once it stopped raining, we were able to meet Zuli, the camel, and she was so sweet and lovable. We also made it to downtown Marian to buy supplies to take home to the coast. Everyone was so friendly and the town was wonderful. Thank you so much for being so flexible with us as we were stressed to the max when we arrived and calm when we left to return to the Coast. We can't wait to visit for an actual vacation and visit Chimney Rock and Lake Lure.

Everyone enjoyed meeting and feeding carrots to Zuli. We cooked breakfast every morning in the well supplied kitchen. We enjoyed eating together and having family game nights around the large dining table. We had one issue with the AC but once reported Ray and Eva had a repairman there to fix it. We would love to stay again but hopefully during a time when the mosquitoes are not around. The wrap around porch with beautiful sitting areas would have been so nice to have enjoyed... but not worth the risk of all the mosquito bites! The owner can definitely not be faulted for outside insects in there natural habitat (they’ve been bad outside at our home as well). The cabin is immaculate and I agree with another reviewer it was one of the nicest and cleanest that we’ve stayed at. Thanks for allowing us to share your lovely cabin for our much too short vacation!

Thank you for an amazing stay at Sugar Hill Cabin. We had every amenity imaginable and the house was so comfy and very clean. Of course, my children enjoyed Zuli on their morning walk. The week went too fast. I highly recommend this wonderful log home. --Beth G.

The cabin is a really nice quiet get away that sits about an hour from Asheville downtown. If you’re big into the nightlife, it’s probably a bit far...but for our family it was perfect.
